I received the following and am sharing it with the approval of the writer, @Cbefree who PM'd me for info. I have sent her three related links from The Best of the Ex, am working on my personal response to her, and am opening it up to the rest of the crew in hopes you might respond to her as well: 

"Good morning Suzy, I've been pondering your and others long time quits with: What does it feel like now? How have cravings changed? How often, how strong...? I think you get the picture.

If you feel inclined to write in the community or know of some posts that would relate to these questions would you point me in that direction? I think if you use my @Cbefree in any post it will alert me. "

Let's pull together and share the info she seeks ❤️

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
